Technically speaking, yes, Hydrogen molecules are involved.

Why everytime Iran topology got posted, their mountain range get bigger. They are not even that mountainous. They are not Swiss-tier. They are closer to Balkan interm of geography.

the same way you beat every other "unbeatable fortifications" in the past, nuke a few large population centers and trigger a mass refugee stream that will quickly overwhelm the fortresses supplies

What in the ESL is this supposed to mean? Are we being asked what weapons can crack Iran, or if weapons can crack Iran?

Poor Sumeria, right next to savage mountain tribes, they never stood a chance.

These posts are so bad I am starting to assume they are IDF agitators. Them B-2 strikes have hell proven how pointless the underground bunkers in Iran are.
>>
Afghanistan is higher in average elevation AND steeper in elevation changes than Iran.
Not to mention the conditions ON Iranian mountains are so terrible that living up there, in bunkers or not is really unsustainable for long periods of time.
The infrastructure of Iran is so poor there still arent roads and railways to connect areas outside of the heartland.
The coast is choked off from the mainland.
The coast is indefensible.
The mountains are unlivable.
Half of the western population in the Zagros is sympathetic to the Kurdish resistance.
Mountains will be the least of the problems when the fighting reaches the cities.
Urban warfare is hell and with drones forget it.

Honestly, keeping around one or two Gustavs, mounted on a ship, just for specialty shore bombardment would have been based as hell.

Even more impressive that Alexander conquered this entire region and barely had any casualties. Same for Genghis. Maybe Americans really do suck at warfare.

why do i keep seeing the people israel is bombing and they're less swarthy than them
>>
>>65026012
Late Achaemenids were kind of a basket case of rebellions popping up, in fact the greeks had a nice dress rehearsal 40 years before Alexander through mercenary support for the rebel satrap of Lydia, Cyrus the younger. You got that Cyrus, Egypt going rogue, and Phoenician states conspiring with the Greeks, and I don't know what was happening in the wild northeast at the time but Scythians aren't known for their loyalty to weak suzerains

Alexander had already won major battles in Anatolia, the Levant and Mesopotamia before entering the Iranian Plateau, and Darius had been assassinated by his attendants. Alexander had more or less become the acknowledged ruler of the empire, so it was much easier than it could have been. And it was still harder to conquer than the field battles he fought against the peak of the Achaemenid's army. It took him several years to subdue the place, and required him to marry the daughter of one of the regions most influential nobles to secure it. Had the Iranian tribes remained more loyal to the Persian nobility, and Darius not been assassinated, it could have been even worse, although I suspect Big Al still would have one. Dude was a genius and charismatic charmer.
But point being the Plateau itself was still an abosolute bitch to invade.

It was partially America's fault for giving those people weapons in the first place, on multiple occasions. Now they more or less know how to use those weapons.

You’re actually right, but not for the reasons you think. The only way for the United States to win is opening the Strait of Hormuz, which can only be done by denying Iranians the ability to launch anti-ship missiles. Dropping a huge amount of chemical and nuclear weapons near the coast would make the area uninhabitable, and any launchers being moved into position easier to spot. This is honestly the only way I could see avoiding boots on the ground, but honestly it’d cost half our nuclear arsenal and also be the most retarded decision in recorded history.
>>
>>65024844
you are retarded. you don't need to blow up mountains because iranians dont live in moutains, they live in mountain valleys and those are just flat lands that lie between mountains.

the afghans do live in mountains, that's why they are very hard to defeat.
you just drive on the road to the next town in a valley, make sure you get the nearby high ground, bomb the enemies who are on high ground with your planes, then assault the town.

>muh mountains
>>
>>65024844
iran is about as mountainous as california, with similar population dispersion, i.e. everyone lives in the fucking valley plains

if your job is to take San Bernardino or Bakersfield, that's what Iran is like
>>
>>65026012
Mongolians don't count, their tactics involved just genociding anything that resisted for more than a minute. The Afghans were traumatized for centuries after Tamerlane slaughtered something like 20% of their population and stacked skull towers on every village. By contrast during Soviet occupation the Afghan pop remained stable, and under American occupation it kept growing.

America+Israel also did a pearl harbor-tier strike without any war declaration and while ongoing negociation to fool them into thinking peace was still an option and they can't fucking stop some retarded theocracy from fucking up the whole region with flying lawnmowers. The number one military power in term of funding and airframes and naval tonnage btw. Safe to say they indeed suck hard if with all that going for them, they can't even win/prevent a counter-attack campaign. The soviet union at their peak couldn't win in Afghanistan despite sharing a land border and going genocide mode at times(personally thinking that america under Trump will go there too considering they already done a couple of war crimes by now). I really look toward an american ground invasion solely because im tired of arrogant retards acting smug and all mighty when all their power got handed to them by luck.
Thinking hard about it, America never really win without overwhelming material advantage. I almost wanted to say the exception that come to mind is the revolutionary war but France and to a lesser degree Spain were involved in fucking with Britain. Yeah economies are important in war, but that's not being good at warfare and having some gay ass attention whore ex-seal doing some podcast or selling stupid books being the poster child of your ""warrior"" culture is beyond cringe. Being good at warfare is Vietnam surviving against the French, American and Chinks and still being their own country or Napoleon winning against a million of coalition until he got too cocky and lost most of his army to winter and still managed to hold out for 2 years and still came back for one last time or Caesar who used superior diplomatic maneuvering to pit Gaul tribes against each others and leveraged superior engineering to build TWO walls in a siege.
This shit just illustrate how perfectly they are basically west Russia but richer so they throw money instead of serfs at their enemy.

and the money is just imagined out of thin air
the reason US finally backed off with Greenland was Macron telling Trump that France and rest of EU will end petrodollar

>>65027630
They could also just leave
tolling the strait will raise prices for everybody and not just the people Iran doesn't like because globalism, which means that all the political pressure the US is under to get the straits open would immediately switch to Iran, who are much less capable of simply shrugging it off due to their smaller size and crippled economy
I don't think it would take very long at all for diplomatic efforts to secure freedom of navigation through the strait under those circumstances, but it would require Donald T to take a public L and I doubt hes willing to let that happen
